REVIEW:
With this hitting the cinema for the Christmas market, you know that when theres a chance for a game, Dreamworks is going to take it. What they’ve produced is a game that has a lot of fun blending bright, colourful graphics, with a storyline that young players will love whilst also bringing elements of Gauntlet in (with the various characters to choose from) in a game that whilst fun on your own, makes for a lot more when playing with friends. (Tested when playing with my nephews and twin.)
All in whilst its quite repetitive and simple in certain respects, it’s a game that will be picked up quite quickly and is fun for the younger gamer, for the older, its not offering that much but all round a nice bit of family fun for Christmas.
